Martial Arts - Taekwondo

Mike and Delia Raymer moved down to Dayton from Michigan State in 2000, and the four of us started the WSU Taekwondo Club. Not having a black belt in Taekwondo, nor any art at that time, I was mostly involved in the administration and publicity parts of starting the club, as well as instructing beginners when they came to check out the school. It has been a great success so far, and we hope that it will continue growing!

My first loyalty is to Shorin-Ryu and the WSU Karate Club, but I spend as much time as possible at the WSU TKD Club as well. I find it very interesting to see how different arts teach and interpret the same things.

Since earning my black belt in Shorin-Ryu Karate, I've been honored to be invited to sit on the testing board for the rank tests for the WSU TKD club, and that has been a very interesting and enlightening experience. Mostly I've learned how much more I need to learn!
